I just started interning and it’s my first office job (Yay!) but most of the clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially shoes. I have no “appropriate” shoes because shoes have always been a particular source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus.
Do you guys have any advice on how to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe solid clean white sneakers? For reference I’m female.
Black is much easier to clean than white, but gray or brown are the best if you have to occasionally get dirty. Birkenstocks are also roomy, although I do think the quality has dropped significantly since I was young. I had a pair of sandals that lasted 20 years, but I bought them in the 90s. When I replaced them, the replacements lasted 6 months.
Oof 6 months? 😬 That’s not a lot considering their cost. Thanks for the feedback
I mean, that’s one data point, so take it with a grain of salt.
Yeah I always go out and read as many reviews on a product as I can to feel comfortable with my decision, especially for an expensive purchase :)
